Dear Aspirants ,

As per your query ,

this is a common doubt while choosing admission in colleges which is better or not.

In NIT Raipur civil engineering infrastructure is better than any other NIT what the placement is not so helpful in this branch of study. So it is better for you the choice of mechanical engineering branch at Rourkela NIT.

The Placements in IT at nit Raipur is very good and since civil is a core branch hence less avg package

For further information you can check out this link as given below:

hope you understand , in case of any query you can comment here and also make a  new query for the same,

Thank you and all the best.

Dear aspirant,

If you were to take my opinion then you should opt for nit Rourkela because its ranking is better both in management and engineering and it is also more renowned than mnit Jaipur.

In terms of placements both these nits are at par because the average package is not much as compared to a top B school. The average package in management is around 5-6L per annum in both the nits so i would recommend you to kindly if possible opt for other college which has strong alumini network in management and has good placement stats.

it is quite difficult to tell only about one is specialisation that's why I am mentioning the the placement details of overall courses. The National Institute of Technology Rourkela placement details of master of technology are as follows:

  1. There are 178 job offers made in the year 2020 for master of technology students.
  2. The lowest salary package which was offered in the institute was 2.40 lacs per annum.
  3. The average placement package which was offered in the institute was 8.89 lacs per annum
  4. The highest placement package which was offered in the institute was lacs per annum.
  5. Out of 178 offers 42 placement offers were made for electronic systems and communication engineering students.
